details A wander through the city could do no better than to being at the Cathedral. The fact that the
buildings was begun in 1165 and not completed until 1550 means that a succession of styles will be visible to the
keeneyed visitor. Outstanding features include the stellar vaulting over the main chapel, most likely the work of
Rodrigo Gil de Hontañón, and the magnificent choirstalls which bear the stamp of the maestro, Rodrigo Alemán, date
from 1498 and depict singular scenes for a place of worship. Public opinion in the United States was very
sympathetic to Cuban independence and the Congress passed joint resolutions in its favor. The fragile peace of 1878
stymied the movement in favor of intervention in Cuban affairs until the second insurrection of 1895. In that year,
growing U.S. economic and commercial interests in the island and the new social and political climate in the United
States, focused constant attention on the situation in Cuba. That interest was fanned considerably by important
Cuban groups that had emigrated to Florida and New York, in a way peculiarly similar to the present role of similar
groups. Both Castillian and Catalan (since 1979) are the official languages of Catalunya and the Balearic Islands
(since 1983). Catalan is also spoken in some areas of Aragon and Murcia and, outside Spain, in the French
Roussillon region, the Principality of Andorra and in the Italian city of Alguer (Sardinia). It is the mother
tongue of some 5 to 6 million persons. Furthermore many Castillian or Spanish speaking people who live in any of
the aforementioned areas speak and understand it.
